You must live in a world where people don't make coffee at home due to cost considerations.
The main point of a nanny is to have someone else deal with your kid so that you don't have to.
Machines will almost certainly provide a worse experience than a human at the beginning, but the lower price expands the market significantly to those who could not afford those things before.
Teachers probably won't get replaced for the longest time since they're not paid out of your pocket.
- jpatokal 10y agoNo, the main point of a nanny is to enable both partners to work, which is often a financial necessity, not a luxury.
- Eridrus 10y agoI was probably projecting, but I'd say day care, in a home or a centre, is a financial necessity, and a nanny is when you have too much money or too many children :) But the larger point I was trying to make is that most people who need child care are looking for someone to make sure it doesn't die while they're away, not provide some special level of care.
- gozur88 10y agoI agree. I think robot nannies will become pretty commonplace as many of the people who can't afford human nannies take advantage of the cheaper mechanical option.
